MATH CURRICULUM
Mathematics at TISA is one of the core subjects. The goal of the program is to develop mathematical thinking, logic, and problem-solving skills using various methods. To achieve this, we utilize the following components:
MATH (algebra and geometry)

(1) Basic Mathematics (Algebra and Geometry)
Our Basic Mathematics program, covering Algebra and Geometry, follows the highly regarded Singaporean system of teaching math.

We aim to help kids solve different kinds of problems, think mathematically, and understand logic by seeing how things are connected.

We teach math 5-7 lessons each week. Our lessons cover important topics like algebra and geometry, and we also talk about practical things like telling time, using a calendar, and handling money.

We use different books and materials to make sure all students can learn at their own pace. Some might need more time to understand, while others can move ahead faster. This way, everyone can learn math in a way that works best for them.
(2) Olympiad Mathematics
Arithmetic is not mathematics; it's about basic operations and doesn't require deep thinking. In our school, we focus on teaching children problem-solving skills, specifically translating any problem into an equation using mathematical language, then solving it and giving an answer with a clear solution. In this process, we emphasize logical reasoning and the steps taken to solve the problem. We don't expect children to solve problems using a template - we appreciate original and unconventional solutions because mathematics is fascinating and has many amazing patterns.

Our students participate in various Olympiads. Olympiad Mathematics is introduced to children as young as 3 years old, initially through games aimed at developing logical thinking. Starting from the age of 4, children can participate in both internal and external math Olympiads. The entire school participates in the international Kangaroo Olympiad from the age of 5 (Grade 2).
(3) Mental Math
Mastering mental math offers numerous advantages, such as heightened concentration, bolstered memory and cognitive skills, and heightened confidence in mathematical abilities. Moreover, it equips students with a valuable tool for everyday tasks, enabling swift and precise calculations sans reliance on calculators.

The program of mental math classes consists of:
  • mechanical arithmetic exercises with fingers on the calculating tool
  • mental counting and exercises to develop concentration and logic
Kids learn addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

During training exercises on the abacus, fine motor skills are developed and the development of interhemispheric connections is stimulated.

Thanks to the technical exercise on the abacus, the speed of thinking increases, while perseverance and concentration develop.

(4) Mathematical Offline Games
We engage children in mathematical games starting from the age of 3. These include quests, team games, board games, puzzles, and mosaics.

We offer games covering various topics in our curriculum, from addition and subtraction to number composition, multiplication, fractions, and graphs.

In total, we have 100 + games available to play for every grade. Our students enjoy playing these mathematical games. Math is beautiful. Math is art. Math is fun.
